Awaken

Awaken is a short side-scrolling horror game about Jack, who searches for his sister Layla and follows clues into a secluded forest. He soon discovers he is not alone, and that whoever—or whatever—is there has no intention of letting him leave.

Explore the forest

The game focuses on exploration and narrative, with environmental storytelling conveyed through character dialogue, item descriptions and details in the surroundings. You can use these clues to uncover what is happening in the forest. Gameplay is mostly relaxed exploration, interrupted by some combat and revelations; every encounter has meaning.

Choices and atmosphere

Disturbing moments and difficult moral dilemmas challenge your resolve. The game treats good and bad as relative, with no right choices. Its presentation combines classic pixel art with modern techniques, an original acoustic guitar soundtrack and an eerie atmosphere.
